Good Points

There is a restaurant in the complex called La Tasca, and the food there was delicious (check out their 3 course meals for 7 Euros. These meals were not well advertised but always on offer). There was also a mini market on-site which had everything you could need, and it was not pricey (very-very reasonable). Entertainment in the Binimar was RUBBISH, and I would strongly recommend you pay a few visits to Jimmy Hill's located in the square, as they have an outside stage with live professional acts almost every night, and they also have the best cocktails and burgers in the resort.


Bad Points

The resort was too quiet!! We have 2 young children (7 & 4), and although they were entertained, we were not!! The shows in the Binimar were rubbish, and they were all done by the reps who couldn't string 2 notes together. The rooms were very basic and not the cleanest I may add, although it wasn't unbearable. If you travel with Direct Holidays you have to pay for the kids club (and they don't tell you that when you book).


General Comments

We made the best of a bad situation on our holiday to the Binimar Resort, and I will never go back to Menorca or recommend it, as it's just too quiet!! Also, if you go to the water park, don't book through your travel company, it's a rip off, pay at the park for less than half price (even though, there are only 4 slides).

    Well I ain't to sure what kind of a show you would expect, maybe the west end or something is more your taste. But when we went the shows were very good and the work they have put in were excellent, Not only that but I am sure I can't be that wrong, as the amount of people that have been watching those shows must have liked it otherwise why stay.
